| Cons | I saw Precision series in work – performance is not good enough for such configuration (for comparison, my old Latitude with the same hardware configuration worked much better) | Everyone I asked, tell me, that HP machines are not reliable enough | Keyboard layout is absolutely awful. It impossible to work with Fn and Ctrl swapped.
Graphic card is not strong enough
It’s 15.4” |
| Pros | It is very reliable | Very good performance
Very lighter
Good battery life | Absolutely reliable
